PSLO Assessment Report Summary

What we looked at:

The Cabinet Making certificate assessment focused on (PSLO #2) the awareness and importance of using competently specified hand and power tools and (PSLO #4) Interpret construction information from blueprint drawings. Listed below are the results for each of the PSLOs.

What we found:

• The results of the written and practical exams showed that 10 out of 10 students or 100% got a "C" or better in using competently specified hand and power tools during hands-on practices.
• The results of the written and practical exams showed that 10 out of 10 students or 100% got a "C" or better in estimating materials needed for tabletops, front and back rails, legs, and bench tops from a set of blueprints.

What we are planning to work on:

• Provide up-to-date hands-on practices for hand tools and power tools so students will be competent when finishing from this program.
• Provide the latest version of cabinet drawings for students to be familiarized themselves with before going into the real world of work.

Recommendations for students:

• Students must follow the Cabinet Making program suggested schedule in the COM-FSM General Catalog in order to complete their study in a timely matter.
• Students enrolled in this program as their major of study must remain in it until they graduate with a certificate of achievement.
• Students must be pro-active in listening and asking questions during lecture and lab periods so they can gain and improve their knowledge and skills.
